word from my childhood back in baltimore. no idea how it
came about, but my family called any half-circle pastry
with sweet filling a piggy-pie. usually a turnover of pie
crust with jelly filling, with some white frosting/glaze. >>>
Ah, Thank you. That makes sense now, although when first reading this
I wasn't sure if these pies were shaped like little pigs or just what.
And since I was saving your message for the Florilegium, I thought
others might be confused by the term in the future.
<<< empanadas come to mind, in my new home, as the best
description of the shape/look. >>>
I think I've heard these small pies called turnovers or hand-pies.
Folks if you were looking in the Florilegium for small hand-pies like
this, what name would you look for?
I started off with a file called "pies-msg", which sprung off "fruit-
pies-msg" and "meat-pies-msg" and more recently "fish-pies-msg" but
both "pies-msg" and 'meat-pies-msg" are now pretty big and I have a
lot more new info to add for each of them. Maybe I need to pull some
info and put it into something for small pies, but those could be
fish, meat, fruit or custard so maybe that wouldn't work.

Lol.
